Last November 24, 2014, Sony Pictures experienced turmoil within their company. Personally identifiable information, which includes those of the employees, as well as their dependents; executive salary information, and e-mail exchanges were obtained by a group of hackers calling themselves as ‘Guardians of Peace’ (GOP). Up to this point, the identities of these hackers are still unknown. In fact, there is no proof to the claims that employees at Sony assisted in the compromising situation.

The motive of the hack has not yet been revealed. However, it has been said that it has something to do with the release of a certain film, depicting the attempt of assassinating North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. Bottom line is that, it has been assumed that this hack is somewhat related to terrorism.

The Hacking Threats

With all these hacking threats going on, at a big company at that, the world seemed a very dangerous place to live. Sony is a well reputed company. Still, hackers were able to penetrate and obtain personal information of the employees. This is something very scary for a lot of them. When this information is revealed, all aspects of their lives will be affected.

This brings us to the question: How about online money making techniques? Are they free from these hacking attempts? The thing is, these schemes, such as completing online paid surveys, are low profile internet transactions. Unlike Sony, there is no potential reason for the hack. Unless, of course, you are earning multi-million dollars online.

With money making online, you are simply dealing with a modest job that allows you to earn extra income. At the same time, you can also implement certain safety procedures in order to protect your information.

Safety Procedures

For one, you can just limit the amount of information that you can reveal online. Most online paid survey sites, such as Opinion Outpost and Swagbucks, do not require extremely private information. This can also be an indication of a potential rogue website upon signup. Usually, you need to provide login information, but not very detailed data which might include your exact address, or SSN. Be careful about providing this information online.

It is always better to create a different email for your online jobs. For instance, if you are doing paid surveys, make sure that you have an email account for this, as you might tend to receive a whole of emails from survey companies. You surely would not want to receive spam emails on your personal account.

At the same time, before registering with a website, make sure that you do your own personal research first on the background information of the company. These days, there are comparison and review websites which can provide you the detailed information that you need. You may also want to check whether or not these websites have complaints coming from other users. Being alert in providing information can prove to be a safety procedure which can protect you in any online transaction.

Last year was a great year for the film industry with the release of some of the best movies from the Hobbit, Godzilla and Mockingjay. Now that we’ve started a new year, we are again eager to see the newest movies, which could define a genre, as we know it. Now, let’s check some of the most anticipated films of the next two years as well as some opinions and possible outcomes of them.

Bond 24. With its release this coming this November 9, we’ll know if this could meet the past standards of the previous movies.

Mission Impossible 5. This could be a great film to look out for, especially due to the previous set of films, which never failed to give us entertainment. But could this one relive the quality? Coming this Christmas of 2015.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Set to release this first of May 2015, we can be sure that this will be another fun and action packed movie filled with our favorite superheroes.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens. More than thirty years after the last film, the sequel of one of the all-time favorites, Star Wars comes back to the big screen. Let’s hope it will not fail.

Jurassic World. If you’re a fan of first movie, this this could be another flick worth watching. It’s a sequel set after the events of Jurassic Park.

Pixels. A TV mechanic (Adam Sandler) a felon (Peter Dinklage) and a conspiracy theorist (Josh Gad) — all former videogame prodigies and childhood pals of the president — are recruited to help save the country. This would be another badass film worth taking a look, a sanctuary for nerds.

Warcraft. A film based on the most popular MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role-playing game), many are waiting to see their favorite game characters live online.

Kung Fu Panda 3. This film is the third movie from the popular Kung Fu panda franchise. The first two movies are a huge success and are very appealing for kids and adults of all ages. We can expect the same for this sequel. Will be shown this coming March 18, 2006.

Finding Dory. A decade ago, everyone is in search for Nemo. Now it’s Dory’s turn! Will they find her out? I’m sure this will be a great movie too.

Ant-man. Another superhero flick which is, judging from trailers, will be worth watching for. Based on the popular comic book of the same name, this is one of the highly anticipated film of 2015.

SpongeBob: Sponge Out of Water. I’m sure you want to see this film too! It’s for all ages and we are hoping to see our favorite funny sponge and his crew out on the big screen.

Fifty Shades of Grey. Not much word on this one but let me remind you that it’s R18.

With tons of movies produced and shown every year coming from different parts of the world, it can be hard to choose what to watch next and often, we just pick up a movie because we liked its cover, trailer or title. However, one of the most disappointing aspects of this way of picking up movies is that you might waste an hour and a half of your life for a sheer boring movie. Set that aside, we’ve compiled some of the best movies of all time. If you haven’t seen one of them, make sure you check them out. Take note that they’re not in a particular order.

The Dark Knight

One of the best and most critically acclaimed movie of all time, the dark knight was a spectacular watch from start to finish. Its trilogy boasts high ratings from many critics and online review site. This comic-movie stayed true to the early era of Batman comics. The character’s performances are great, especially joker’s performance. Best Batman movie as of now.

Avatar

With its stunning special effects, Avatar is a sight to behold. In addition to that, it offers a story rich experience featuring cross species love story with a social message. The jungle, the creature and everything is almost life like, especially if you watch them on their glorious 3D version. This is a must have watch for any moviegoer.

Back to the Future

This time travel movie is packed with excellent characters. Aside from the lovely characters, it’s also packed with comedy. Zemeckis’s ‘Back to the Future’ trilogy has been a childhood favorite for a long time and even today, you can still find yourself laughing at the jokes.

The Shawshank Redemption

This is arguably one of the best prison films ever made. This is where Morgan Freeman’s narration became very popular because of its quality. The story and the dialogue are incredible as well as the soundtrack.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Captain Jack Sparrow is one of the best pirates you could see in films. This movie is packed with a mix of action, comedy and drama; the series became an instant classic, especially Curse of the Black pearl.

Forrest Gump

Based on a novel of the same name by Winston Groom, Forrest Gump is an epic film featuring an honest and good person. The plot, characters and soundtrack are amazing. Every moment of the film will leave you fixed to the screen.

The Exorcist

If you’re a horror fun, you’ve never become truly one unless you watched and finished the exorcist from start to end. The horror, setting, plot and soundtrack are so creepy you’ll never be able to sleep tonight. This is one of the best horror movies of all time.
